If the screw head is stripped out, an ‘easy out’ is your pal. Drill out the now-stripped center hole in the screw, put the easy out into the hole and tap slightly with a small hammer (or the end of a screwdriver) to seat it. Then turn the easy out counter clockwise to remove the screw. Sometimes the screw will have to be re-drilled if it’s really stuck and the easy out spins in the hole, but they generally get the job done.
